"Scum?" Xu Yi paused, and his face quickly darkened.
"Stiel, tell me, what happened?
If someone bullied you, just tell me. I'll find a way to avenge you! "
"You?" Stiel smiled and shook her head.
"You can't. His family is very powerful. You can't do anything to him."
"Is it very powerful?"
Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled. "If that's the case, then I'll have to do some research.
Come, tell me, who is the guy who bullied you?
Most importantly, did you … suffer any harm? "
Seeing Xu Yi's gaze on her, Stiel's pale face blushed. She rolled her eyes at Xu Yi and said, "What are you thinking?
I'm fine!
Don't forget, my grandfather is a great magician. He doesn't have the guts to do anything to me. "
"That's true." Xu Yi nodded.
"According to what you're saying, it's because you realized that he's a scum, so … you fell out of love?"
"Bah!
I've never been in love with him, okay? How can I fall out of love? "Stiel rebuked.
Xu Yi laughed. "Failing in one-sided love can also be considered as falling out of love."
Seeing that Stiel's expression had regained some vitality, Xu Yi was relieved.
It seemed that Stiel had simply found out that the person she liked was a scum, so the beautiful image in her heart was destroyed and her spirit was damaged.
This was a very common thing. It was not rare for young girls to encounter this kind of thing. As long as she was not hurt, it was fine. After a while, she would naturally return to normal.
"Hmph!
You can still laugh! "Stiel snorted and glared at Xu Yi.
Although she was a little angry, Stiel found that after chatting with Xu Yi for a while, she did not feel as empty as before. It was as if the whole world had collapsed. She seemed to have come back to life.
After a pause, Stiel said to Xu Yi seriously, "Xu Yi, what I'm going to say next, you can't tell my grandfather, understand?"
Xu Yi knew that Stiel needed someone to listen to her talk and relieve her depression. He nodded seriously and stared at Stiel, waiting for her to speak.
"That gift … I didn't give it away …"
Under the cover of the night, there was only a candle in Xu Yi's room.
With this light, Still slowly told Xu Yi about her experiences during this time.
This was actually a story that Xu Yi didn't think was too strange.
Stiel's secret crush was a male classmate of hers from the Lampuri Royal Academy. This male classmate came from a large noble family in Anvilmar City, so naturally he had a deep background. Adding in his handsome appearance, elegant demeanour, and outstanding talent for magic, he was recognized as the "male god" of the Lampuri Royal Academy, so there were many female students who secretly admired him.
Stiel was one of them.
Properly speaking, this was a normal story of unrequited love, but Stiel was a very stubborn girl. Even after graduating from the Lampuri Royal Academy and returning to Banta City, she had been separated from this male classmate, but she still missed him.
This time, taking advantage of this male classmate's birthday banquet, Stiel asked Xu Yi to help her make a fine model piano. Then she brought this gift filled with her heart to Anvilmar City, preparing to personally give it to this male classmate at the banquet and confess to him.
Who would have thought that after Stiel went to Anvilmar City, she would immediately hear a piece of bad news. This male god in her heart was actually engaged!
Stiel was naturally sad, but she still planned to give the gift. She was prepared to hide her feelings and sincerely wish this male god in her heart a happy life.
If this matter ended here, it would be a sad story with a good ending.
But what happened next was a bit unexpected.
Stiel found this male god at the banquet and was prepared to give him the gift, say a few words of blessings before leaving.
Who would have thought that after seeing Stiel, this male god would secretly tell Stiel that he had always liked Stiel.
Stiel was pleasantly surprised, but she remembered that this male god was already engaged, so she tactfully reminded him.
However, after this male god's flowery words, Stiel strangely believed him and even secretly went on two dates with him in the next two days.
"Then how did that fellow become scum?" Hearing this, Xu Yi looked at Stiel with a strange look.
"Could it be that he ….. used force on you?"
Stiel's face turned red, "He didn't dare use force.
But he ….. He ….. In short, he is scum!
He was clearly engaged and had a fiancee, but he kept making that kind of request to me.
I rejected him and he actually said that I didn't like him at all!
Humph!
Who said that if you like someone, you have to give your body to them?
This scum, later I accidentally overheard a conversation between a few classmates. It turned out that this fellow had already played with many female classmates when he was at school, but afterwards he didn't admit it to anyone. He was already a complete scum! "
"Clap clap clap —"
Xu Yi suddenly clapped his hands.
"Stiel, congratulations."
Stiel stared at Xu Yi with her eyes wide open, "I'm already so miserable, and you still want to congratulate me?
Are you here to comfort me or to mock me? "
"No, no, no, I'm sincerely congratulating you." Xu Yi smiled.
"Stiel, you were able to recognize this scum's true colors before causing more damage. Is this still worth congratulating?
Also, I admire your persistence and clear-headedness.
Since that guy was able to deceive so many female students, he must be very good at dealing with girls.
It's really rare for you to be able to maintain your chastity in front of him. "
Stiel's face turned slightly red, and she snorted softly, "I wouldn't degrade myself that much."
Xu Yi chuckled, "Well said.
But Still, since you already know that he is scum, why are you torturing yourself like this and putting yourself in such a pitiful state?
It's not worth it. "
"I just ….. I just couldn't get over it." Stiel mumbled.
"What about now?
Have you gotten over it? "
Stiel looked at Xu Yi, and then looked at the night sky outside the window. After thinking for a while, she took out an exquisite box from her backpack.
She opened the box, and inside was naturally the piano model she had made herself.
Stiel stared at the piano model in a daze for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and punched it.
"Boom — —"
This piano model was incomparably delicate, so naturally it was incomparably weak. Adding in the fact that Still's fist had a low level Fire Magic attached to it, the piano model was instantly shattered to pieces. Even the remains were completely burned away, turning into ashes in an instant.
"Okay, now I have nothing to do with this guy." Stiel raised her head, and her beautiful shoulder-length blonde hair fluttered in the wind.
In just a moment, she seemed to have returned to the youthful and beautiful girl from before.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile in relief.
This Stiel was indeed a strong girl. She recovered so easily.
But this also meant that she didn't really have any feelings for the so-called "Prince Charming". At best, it was just an adolescent girl's natural admiration for beautiful things.
This was also good. Most girls would go through this. Stiel being able to go through this kind of experience had enriched her life and made her more mature.
"Xu Yi, I won't be going back tonight."
While Xu Yi was praising in his heart, Stiel's sudden words almost made him spit out his drink.
"Ha?
You're not going back?
You wouldn't be thinking of spending the night at my place, right? "Xu Yi's eyes opened wide as he looked at Stiel in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me?
I am a single man and a little girl like you spending the night at my place, aren't you afraid of rumours spreading?
If Great Magician Camilla knew about this, it would be strange if he didn't use magic to send me flying! "
"Che, I'm not worried, so what are you worried about?" Stiel looked at Xu Yi in disdain.
"Didn't you always say that I was a child? Then what's wrong with a child like me spending the night at an uncle's house?
Then again, you have a little girl like Vivian at home, what kind of single man are you?
Relax, I'll go sleep with Vivian in a bit, I won't disturb you, uncle. "After saying this, Stiel stretched and walked into the bathroom.
"I haven't bathed in several days, I'm so dirty.
Hey, uncle, can you lend me a set of clothes first?
I haven't even had time to wash my clothes in the past few days, I don't have anything to change into. "
Seeing Stiel walk into the bathroom without any courtesy, Xu Yi could only helplessly blink. He turned his head and found that Vivian had opened the bedroom door a crack and was peeking in, so he waved his hand at her.
"Come, Vivian, go greet Stiel and tell her how to use our bathroom.
That's right, do you have any of the clothes I bought for you last time that you haven't worn yet?
Take one out for her to change into and I'll buy a few more for you in a few days. "
Vivian obediently nodded and went back into the room to find a set of clothes to bring into the bathroom.
After a while, there was the sound of running water and Stiel's light singing in the bathroom.
Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head.
"This fellow, how does she look like someone who just fell out of love?
Humph, calling me an uncle?
I'm only twenty seven this year, alright!
How do I look like an uncle?
Hey, Vivian, do you think I look like an uncle? "
The pitiful Vivian looked at Xu Yi in a daze, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.
